Hello, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving we had a really good time. We left on Wednesday about 12:30 and headed for Layton Utah. We stayed at Grandpa Hughes (Ryan's grandpa). There we about 31 of us that had dinner there at his house on Thursday. The boy's all went and played home run derby before dinner. Cole got to go play football with the scouts in D.J.'s (his cousin) ward. We didn't eat until 4pm. We visited and played games.
One Friday we got up about 5 am and got ready and packed up to go to Island Park. We went with Darrin and Amber (Ryan's brother and his family) shopping on black friday. We had a good time I think we made it out about 7:30. We went to Target, Toys R Us, Old Navy and Circut City. Then we left them and headed to Rexburg to see Bailey. The others shoped for a while and then headed up to Island Park. We stoped in at Bailey's work we had never been there. Her work area is done up cute. Then she took us to show us her house. It is so cute but she forgot to show us the basement until Ryan asked if they had a basement and then she showed us. We were there about on hour then we headed over to Walmart. We were looking for a gameboy for Cole for Chirstmas because they were on Sale there. And out of all the stores we went to in Layton they were all sold out of every hand held video game. But of all place Rexburg's Walmart had them. I guess all those poor kids going to school can't afford that kind of stuff. We then headed up to Island Park. Cole got a little sick because we forgot to feed him lunch.
We stayed in the same cabin that we stayed at last summer when we went to Island park for the Hughes family reuion. We all had a meal or two we were in charge of Grandpa Hughes bought all the food we just had to cook and clean up. It worked out good. Anyway on Saturday morning we all got up and got ready and went out to cut down Christmas Trees. We didn't need one but decided to cut a small one down and put it in the living room. We already have a fake on in the living room. But we forgot to bring the tree home. We had to drive aways to get the trees and kids played in the snow. Then when we all got back to the cabin. The adults or most of the adults watched the Utah, BYU game. Ryan took the kids out and pulled them behind the truck. The kids loved it.
Sunday a couple of the families went home after they got ready the rest of us went to West Yellowstone to the bear park. We saw wolves fighting over food. Then the kids got to go in the bear pin and hide food and they then let the bears out so they could hunt for the food. The kids loved that. We were there half the day. Then we head back to the cabin. We all stayed up to late visiting everynight.
Monday we got up at 5 am and head home about 6:30 we made it home about 5pm. Not bad for stoping 8 times and having really bad roads over the pass. The trucks were stoped in the lanes they were scraping the road as we went. So that wasn't bad it took about 10 and half hours.
We all had a really good time and Kamden got to play with girls her own age. Ryan's cousin has 3 girls and a boy and Denny and Tresea have a daughter Kamden's age. And of course D.J. and Cole were hook at the hip. They always have fun we they get together. It was nice.
I finally have all the laundary done that only took two and a half days.
Ryan had is hernea(sp) surgery yesterday. Kendall was a really big help she stayed the night and got the kids of to school and watched Carter. Ryan is still really sore and not getting up much. I hope he will be ready to go back on Monday. At this point he is still in to much pain to do anything other than sit in a chair. The doctor said everything went well.
Oh, and we traded in the truck and van and got a Extend Trail Blazer on Tuesday. We tried to get it before we left but they didn't have one in so we picked it up on Tuesday.
